Modeling and Simulation of Railway Vehicle Using ADAMS/Rail

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to develop computer simulation model of railway vehicle using multibody system (MBS) package. ADAMS/Rail was used in modeling and simulating complex realistic railway vehicle system to study their dynamics response to curve and straight track inputs. The Malaya Railway Limited or Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) railway vehicle is used as reference model to develop computer simulation model in ADAMS/rail. Curve track input was based on KTMB rail network with maximum curve radius of 1000 m. Straight track input with random vertical irregularity was applied to the 1000 m track to evaluate the vehicle behavior response to track vertical roughness. The results show the roll angle, lateral and vertical acceleration of the carbody was increases with the increases of vehicle speed.
